Continue the discussion here:
we're playing like dog crap.
and where is our d line at? mariota is back there texting his mom
Never thought that 1st game, 1st half adjustments could be the defining moment of this season but it could be.
It seems like things could turn to negative very quickly ... expectations are a fickle thing
The coaching staff and players are suffocating under the expectations.
Freddie spent a whole off season being witty in front of the camera and letting players be themselves.
So far this is the product.
i want to hammer this point:
the score would be way worse if mariota could hit open receivers. because his receivers are running wide freaking open.
Well we will see what kind of coach Freddie is. He may surprise and look the complete opposite of what he is
All this wait for this? It's almost a trainwreck but not quite.
This should be interesting. How does that OL recover and what does Wilks do to get his defense together and playing with more discipline?
Good way to put it ... we are suffocating now that it is here
I like to make fun of Romo but he's been great this game.
We now have the worst RT in the NFL playing LT. If we continue to pass every down Freddie should be gone before his conference
I like to make fun of Romo but he's been great this game.
He's long winded and kinda boring, but he's super insightful and always right about what's happening.
Romo is very good, and correct (sadly for us today)
This should be interesting. How does that OL recover and what does Wilks do to get his defense together and playing with more discipline.
Pocket books and playing time are all these goofs understand.
Need to force a turnover here.
Ok well that’s about what we expected
They are killing us with that play.
Never mind the block in back
Our secondary are girls...
I love how Larry O didn't celebrate after the sack. Knowing the current state of the game. Pro level
That's what a good Fg kicker does
OK,,,the titans have a kicker
Anyone surprised any other team but us can find a competent kicker anywhere
That's what a good Fg kicker does
And he was unemployed last week.
Our choice in kickers is highly questionable
That's what a good Fg kicker does
Can the Scottish Spammer kick field goals?
Yeah we need to score at least a FG. The Titans D can really let loose if they get up to a 14 point lead.
Kick is good from 53,
The secondary couldn't tackle, set up the early big play on that ten, drive.
15-6 bad guys is the score, after the first poss, of the 2nd half.
Held them to a Fg on their first poss of each half.
That's what a good Fg kicker does
Can the Scottish Spammer kick field goals?
I'd settle for some good punts.
You do know that we are playing alot of man and they run crossing patterns.. but they take time to hit
We gotta figure out the O ASAP
That's what a good Fg kicker does
Can the Scottish Spammer kick field goals?
I'd settle for some good punts.
I fear the decisions made in that aspect of our game.
We gotta figure out the O ASAP
They’re over-hyped.
Did it hit the ground tho
glad we got obj cause that was a crap pass
A new returner, Dernest Johnson.
Fine!!!
Fix the One Thing that Wasn't Broke!!!
McCray is RT, Hubbard is LT from right side.
Keep giving Chubb the rock
Hubbard is straight GARBAGE
Hubbard should just be cut. No way you can’t find someone better
still cant execute a screen
How can you not throw a 3 yard screen
They are highlighting McCrays good blocking.
holding #64 (someone else) 11 flags 117 penalty yards.
2nd and 17
2 way screen completed for a loss.
Check the waiver wires for linemen. Biggest requirement: A brain.
We haven’t challenged the titans over the top even once
We haven’t challenged the titans over the top even once
yep. how we this pass happy yet havent thrown it deep?
He's not off.
He's slow with his reads.
And the OC is calling a crap game.
Baker seems to have lost his spirit and that happened a long time ago in this game.
We lost this game....o line cant pass protect, freddy cant stop calling passes, players cant stop committing penalties. How embarrassing
How many penalties on Oline, plus sacks?
They are killing the offense, and now we are playing the backups to the backups, and we all saw how good the backup offensive line was in preseason.
We haven’t challenged the titans over the top even once
yep. how we this pass happy yet havent thrown it deep?
No time to throw
Baker seems to have lost his spirit and that happened a long time ago in this game.
Come on this is a ridiculous comment.
Browns look like a poorly coached team to this point...sorry, Freddie not looking ready to me.
Damn...I gotta agree with Rishuz
Our D legit needs to make a play
Defense needs to win this...
Baker seems to have lost his spirit and that happened a long time ago in this game.
Come on this is a ridiculous comment.
He doesn't seem dejected to you? He does to me.
Garrett with a bad read there
glad garrett made the tackle cause he bit hard
Offense had to punt after a very open 3 yd pass in plenty of space,
a mile of space, got 11 yards, it was only just past the line of scrimmage after everyone else ran deep routes to set up the open space.
So the Browns punted back to them, The bad guys got tackled by shoelaces to set up 3rd and 2,
then a quick out is blown up, to set up 4th and 4 deep in bad guys own territory.
Kirksey only one with a good game so far.
Kirksey only one with a good game so far.
Only gonna take one guy with one play to light a fire here.
Baker seems to have lost his spirit and that happened a long time ago in this game.
Come on this is a ridiculous comment.
He doesn't seem dejected to you? He does to me.
No.
By the way anyone know why avery is inactive?
How many penalty yards can we obtain
I think we see why Freddie has been a career position coach
Freddie’s team is embarrassing
Pressure on Baker. He's the leader, he must produce.
the refs are getting it right too. we keep shooting ourselves in the foot and playing completely sloppy football
this crap is embarassing.
wow, greater than 110 yrds in penalties = POORLY coached team, sorry Williams was the coach for the Browns....
I hope our offense comes alive this next series. This is rough.
Offense is non-dimensional at this point...what exactly ARE WE TRYING TO DO?
They don't practice penalties. They save them for the game.
do you think maybe
picking up a bunch of special teamers just 5 or 6 days ago and all that stuff after the roster cutdowns is having an effect on these penalties?
I don't know if they are the ones committing them, some aren't being announced.
We’re going to be destroyed all week
This is a joke. How do you keep a coach like this
Chubb is averaging 5 yards a carry...we gotta pound the rock more
Apparently pre season IS needed.
Worst game I’ve ever watched
Are you freaking kidding me
Another flag...WTF!!! This is an atrocity...what the hell has Freddie been coaching? Saw it coming a mile away...to much hype!
So now Chubb turns into a dancer in the hole
Cleveland Browns football...come for the flags, stay for the loss!
Room: “that’s not a hold right there. That’s a good block”
Yup. NFL screwing us again
Guess it’s only a flag if we do it
Now THAT is what we needed!
wow chubb saved that play with the broken tackle
Baker might be the worst screen thrower in the nfl
Hurry up O is what we need
I don't put this on Freddie. I really had a lot of questions about this new offensive line coach, with the penalties and sacks and the sloppy play all preseason, the guy should be lucky to keep his job this week.
That’s why they call him juice
When you need a play at critical times. Landry is always the man. My favorite player.
3 straight plays without a penalty... TD!!
We have shown our whimper and our bark, now we show our bite!
Realized they're football players and not just social media divas.
ok defense, time to attack!!!
TOUCHDOWN !!!
Now that dreaded extra point,/ MADE IT!
15-13 2M remain in the 3rd.
Its like Baker said enough of this !@@#
Let’s be honest, defense has done a good job for most part.. just need offense to keep it going
That should have given everyone a nice boost. We all needed that!
We look so much better in a no huddle
ok defense, time to attack!!!
ok defense, time to attack!!!
Woof woof!
Unleash the dogs (and dinosaur)!
Yep, no huddle is key ... we need that energy
We look so much better in a no huddle
Yep, I think so too.
Anyone else find themselves forgetting to breathe during the xp. Watching everything
I believe we finally got the stupid out of our system. If we play up to our capabilities the rest of this game, we can take it.
Yep, no huddle is key ... we need that energy
No huddle is great cuz doesn’t give refs time to make up a call
I find myself like that all game
Anyone else find themselves forgetting to breathe during the xp. Watching everything
Lol yes
Stella got her groove back.
Ward pick coming right up
The radio is saying 132 yards of penaties, but I know that doesn't include the double penaltys on the Browns on that punt return to start the last drive, because they had stated the 117, then the 5 yard false start, then the 10 yard hold, so whatever was on that punt,
Never mind the blind side block
Ward absolutely blows. He didn’t even try to fight to the carrier
Williams did a lot more with a lot less
Of course kitchens is stupid to challenge this but nothing else
So much for complimentary football
They have been workiong on that screen all game.. it finally workeed
Right back in the doghouse.
How something like that happens
Dbacks are suspect at best.
How something like that happens
Browns are really being out coached.
Of course kitchens is stupid to challenge this but nothing else
what exactly was he challenging? LOL
All right. There was still a little stupid left in the tank. Still plenty of time left. Need a scoring drive here though.
We haven’t even sniffed a turnover. You almost expected it with williams
Should have been a call on the block
That’s such a waste of a challenge/TO
Of course kitchens is stupid to challenge this but nothing else
what exactly was he challenging? LOL
Haslam's decision to make him HC...
Yeah, thats the play of the game
The titans literally just curb stomped us
Cleveland browns. Letting you set franchise records since 99
Well, looks like the home opening loss streak will remain alive...
We gotta at least get a FG
give the Titans credit, that was a damn good screen and a gutsy play. Marriotta had to make that throw with three guys about to nail him.
ok, so the Titans get a 60 yd td, off a screen,
3 guys had got into the Qb's backfield on the QB's right, he threw left,
Somebody blocked the safety,
Other safety was clear the other side of the field
Animated, HC looked for a review, 22-13 bad guys.
That play I think,
replay, 4 /3 in the backfield, their left side TE or Tackle, panckaked some Brown to the ground and continued while pushing on the Browns players back of jersey, not front,
whatever,
All the eggs into the pass rush basket, poop happens.
That’s such a waste of a challenge/TO
Booth challenge... we didn't challenge
The stadium is dead quiet
Cleveland browns. Letting you set franchise records since 99
Lol...i was just thinking the same thing.
Browns driving, running and passing with 4 wide and the TE split out too,
Too much on Freddie's plate possibly?
Too much on Freddie's plate possibly?
Not with that waistline
The stadium is dead quiet
What else are you expecting?
I thought it was a replay booth stoppage as all scoring plays are reviewable.
What is record for penalty yards in a game? We are > 140...
The stadium is dead quiet
What else are you expecting?
I half expected to see what we're seeing with so little pre season action
That was a lame holding call
just stop trying to hit a homerun on every play. The Refs are going to call everything. How is this not obvious?
I think I've seen this game before, but this one is not finished yet.
Frickin Callaway! Suspended 4 games.
at least we are breaking records
Where was the hold on the defender right after the int?
I think baker is going to slump hard this year
Well, 1-3 looking very real at this point...whats Freddie going to do?
We've come back down to earth
Where is th hold on them?
Well, 1-3 looking very real at this point...whats Freddie going to do?
Stay away from traffic as he’s looking like a deer in the headlights.
Titans get it, in almost Fg range, after the interception
2nd and 6
3rd and 4,
cant blame the o line, been giving baker plenty of time in the 2nd half
Holding all day on the Titans offensive line.
Anyone ever fire coach after one game
This team believed its own hype and have been sloppy and unprepared. Not an enjoyable game to watch in the least.
This game is done. Another season opener without a win.
Where is th hold on them?
Yeah. I agree.
Pathetic......just pathetic.....what a joke....this is why we should not have been giving all these primetime games. Same old browns.....and I have to go back to that dump of a job tommorrow
This team is worse than last year
Have we ever won a season opener? I don't believe so.
Browns deserve this. Too much offseason hype. I hope we lose terribly and get a top 5 pick to fix this line. Always next year.
People headed for the exits...
holding def, 21, 5 yd penaltie, 157, (167) penalty yards.
Td bad guys.
29-13 bad guys.
Colin gonna have a field day with this
I hope they embarrass the crap out of these prima donas.
Of course kitchens is stupid to challenge this but nothing else
what exactly was he challenging? LOL
Haslam's decision to make him HC...
Funniest post so far.
Have we ever won a season opener? I don't believe so.
Yes.
Since the return with Garcia.
I believe 16 years ago.
The adversity train is a bit early
At least we dont have to talk about playoffs anymore this season. We can start talking about draft picks again....you know....the usuall. Titains came into the game missing thier starting left and right tackles....and they crushed us........cant wait for that jerk cowherd to start ripping us
Colin gonna have a field day with this
He called this.
just remember, our o line protection actually got better with the injuries.
Have we ever won a season opener? I don't believe so.
Yes.
Since the return with Garcia.

Yep, that sounds correct.
"Kind of a ticky tack call there" ..... again ... and again .....
These Refs couldn't be more Pro Titans if they were on the Titans payroll.
Eagles were down 0-17 and are now winning...that is a football team that is well coached.
At least we dont have to talk about playoffs anymore this season. We can start talking about draft picks again....you know....the usuall. Titains came into the game missing thier starting left and right tackles....and they crushed us........cant wait for that jerk cowherd to start ripping us
Out coached.
Then out played.
For not practicing penalties, we're damn good at it.
Freddie kitchens is the wrong hire. We could have had Arians
This team is worse than last year
Well we can't go back to last year, can't undo trades,
can't undo moves.
Only Forward, for now.
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR VICTORY!
cant blame the o line, been giving baker plenty of time in the 2nd half
How many penalties on the O Line? Or blocking penalties on the TEs? I haven't kept an exact talley, but there have been a lot of them. Baker has been completing more because we started getting the ball out faster and taking small gains, but whenenever we try to make a downfield play develop, there is a hold. So we cannot complete a pass over 20 yards.
I'm wonder if Eotab is going to do a what I saw thread that's all sunshine
And lollipops ?
Yep, we were TOO DAMN GOOD TO PLAY OUR STARTERS THIS PRESEASON...LMFAO!
im talking pure protection.
baker has time to throw in the 2nd half.
the entire team is getting penalized.
We have no body making any plays...
Where is this vaunted D-Line?
what the hell is baker looking at?
Yeah baker isn’t very good. Tape is out on him
Colin gonna have a field day with this
He called this.
Yep some of us did. Fancy wide receivers and lots of love from the press don't win games. We're still the Clowns until we prove otherwise - which we've yet to do.
Call me when we accomplish a winning season, let alone talk about playoffs.
This isn't shocking.
Mayfield forcing it now...1-3 at best...we will see what we got after that...
Be lucky to win 7 games this year.
Yeah baker isn’t very good. Tape is out on him
I said that'd be his struggle this year.
Baker is in his own head too
The Browns just got smacked in the mouth
Plain and simple
Another interception
their ball at the Browns 34
11 minutes to go, only down 16,
welp, guess im avoiding sports talk on tv this week
Baker is in his own head too
I think he can't believe this happened. Like a punch in the gut.
Another year... same crap... awful... I'm hoping we can fix this next week
welp, guess im avoiding sports talk on tv this week
True
Baltimore 59-10 over Miami.
Jackson 17-20 324 yards, 5 TD passes.
RG3 is 2-2 for 14 yards and a TD.
The demoralized defense, is getting gashed, 15 yd run,
1st and goal, other team.
9 minutes to go, think this is ugly, check out the Miami vs ravens score.
Mia is terrible snd laying down..
Zietler and peppers would fit better than obj and vernon
Mia is terrible snd laying down..
20 bucks says miami can beat us right now
We have given up with 9 minutes left.
Just horrible.
Honestly, I wish we weren’t on prime time now
Honestly, I wish we weren’t on prime time now
Still talent here. They'll figure it out. I think we screwed ourselves with a country club pre season.
I'm watching that game also.. naw, they are terrible...
Baker looks like he has lost confidence.
I'm watching that game also.. naw, they are terrible...
and what are we right now?
Baker looks like he has lost confidence.
i thought that earlier in the game, It's really gotta suck for him, we got whipped.
I'm watching that game also.. naw, they are terrible...
and what are we right now?
Discombobulated!
This is about as bad as i’ve Ever felt as a fan honestly
Even Tony Romo knows this is a disaster
I cannot blame the QB. Being down and not getting time to throw means the QB has to take risks and force throws. Its either that, or just lay down and die. The game is being lost at the LOS. You can have all the talent you want at the skill positions, but when the LOS is this one sided, it won't matter.
Way too many overreactions for one game in here.
Who is on our offensive line?
thats right. throw it into double coverage
Way too many overreactions for one game in here.
Yeah, could actually be a blessing g in disguise. Hopefully...
Throw in the towel, we'll all understand.
This is about as bad as i’ve Ever felt as a fan honestly
Dude, this is what you wanted.
It's what you predicted.
Why is this making you feel bad when you knew this was coming?
It’s not what I wanted, Rish ... I predicted a close, low scoring game
This is about as bad as i’ve Ever felt as a fan honestly
Dude, this is what you wanted.
It's what you predicted.
Why is this making you feel bad when you knew this was coming?
No right tackle, no left tackle....NOT a winning combination by any means...
Cleveland has a all new system and shaky oline and new coaches. We got alot of work to do. But we are better than MIA. Also when the old oline coach talked about the oline...EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS SOUR GRAPES.. I bet they dont think so now
74 absolutely needs to be on the Street! On the street!
Hubbard sucks at RT...no wonder Squeelers dumped him...
But you always predict doom and gloom.
I just don't understand why you're disappointed.
Really no need to say much more. Root cause...
Cleveland has a all new system and shaky oline and new coaches. We got alot of work to do. But we are better than MIA. Also when the old oline coach talked about the oline...EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS SOUR GRAPES.. I bet they dont think so now
yep!!!
And folks thought the Browns were not ready in years past... How about today
First team should not be in the game. Live to fight another day.
We need Trump as coach to make our Browns great again.
AND we all saw the oline needed work. And it has shown today. why not run more so the oline can fire off at them... but we start passing and our oline starts leaking!!... Freddy and Staff should take the heat
Where are our play makers? Oh, yeah, we didn't want them to get hurt during the preseason so they aren't ready to play...
Who are the refs? What is that guy's name?
First team should not be in the game. Live to fight another day.
I agree.
This game can't end fast enough.
Trent Williams a Brown by Tuesday?
First team should not be in the game. Live to fight another day.
I agree.
Me too.
Browns will lose next week too.
Glad we have an extra day before the jets.. lots to fix....
Browns will lose next week too.
You don't know that.
Landry apologizes to OBJ...
First team should not be in the game. Live to fight another day.
I agree.
Totally agree... time to move on to jets....
I chalk it up to these hideous uniforms..
great throw baker. end the game with a crap throw and a pick 6
Bad play calling... awful... run the ball and move on
Why is Baker still in there?
Freddie that was stupid...
every interception was completely on Baker
Baker turned into Matt Schab right before our eyes.
Well, people could be another long year.....
One game just washes away anything Baker did last year
I hope it stings reeeeaaaal bad..
Freddie that was stupid...
Freddie WAS NOT ready...Williams was the guy for this team, sorry, my opinion.
Penalties
Bad oline play
Bad play calling
Baker forcing it in the fourth
Wow, week 1, stadium is empty with 3 min on the clock...
Freddie that was stupid...
Freddie WAS NOT ready...Williams was the guy for this team, sorry, my opinion.
After round one you're right....this many penalties and bad offensive play calling is directly on freddie
Can't wait to hear what the Homer Nathan Zegura say on CBS
He was so sure the Browns were gonna crush the Titans
182 yards in Penalties... shaky oline.. got behind and started throwing all day. Rookie coaches who let the game get away from them. This will be a learning for the entire team.
Now they gotta regroup and get ready for next week. But dont worry, your Cleveland Media will not ask the tough questions.
I'd love to sit in on the Dorsey/Freddie meetings this week...
Congrats to the Tennessee Referees. They fought a tough, fair battle. Good game
Not that it matters, but
that player stepped out on that last Touchdown they should have had first and goal inside the 5 or around the 5 not a TD
Freddie that was stupid...
Freddie WAS NOT ready...Williams was the guy for this team, sorry, my opinion.
After round one you're right....this many penalties and bad offensive play calling is directly on freddie
Play calling wasn't that bad. Having a backup tackles starting, being down, and an extreme number of penalties can limit your options. In spite of all this, game was still winnable in the third quarter before all of the interceptions, but our young QB became impatient and started forcing everything.
Yea, Dorsey complaining about coaches and Freddy complaining about Dorsey not getting him a oline
Thank goodness this one is over
We allowed the titans to do what they can’t do to anyone else. Big plays. That never happened with Williams
we did absolutely nothing right
we did absolutely nothing right
This.
Started with the coaches.
Finished with the players.
Poor game planning, poor play calling, poor execution, penalties, mistakes.
1 and 15 on opening day, the last 16 years,
we did absolutely nothing right
All aspects unprepared and unable to adjust. Coaching was horrid. Fred looked baffled as to how to gain control. Back to work boys.
Same ol' same ol'.
PATHETIC!
entire squad sucked an egg.
Game was lost on 3rd and 1 pass play before half.
Horrible play calling on that series.
Refs kept the game out of reach... and the team kept taking more rope.
Groundhog day gloom and doom.
Loud mouth fans in the stands.
Embarrassing.
Off season hype...
How many games before the towels are thrown in this year?
It never ever changes...
Fell for it again.
I knew I should have gone outside today.
Post this in post game and copy and paste for the next.
Hope I am wrong.
But this fiasco was WAY too familiar.
